FIRST OF ALL – IF YOU READ THIS WEEKLY, “like” this one this week (even if you hated it, please!!!) so that I can get a measure of how many folks read these “This Week” overviews. (Just needing to gauge the interest, moving forward.) THANKS!!
NOW, the good stuff, WELCOME to the New GIRL ATTORNEY FB Group MEMBERS: So glad you are here! If you’ve not introduced yourself yet – do it now!
There’s no time that’s too late…in fact, there is NO LATE….NO APOLOGIES….just whenever you get to it is perfect.
Also, keep in mind that the info you put in your post is “Search-able” so be mindful of including the STATE or COUNTRY you practice in, the AREAS OF LAW you practice and hopefully, too, include some fun personal stuff too that helps us know you better! It also means that if someone is looking for someone who practices in your specialty, they are more likely to find you.
VERY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE: We have one NEW Group to launch today (Delaware) and we WILL HAVE three new Regional Groups being added soon (sorry for the delay, NC and DC!!), and our newest “coming-Group” announcement is ARKANSAS!
PLEASE JOIN A STATE GROUP, IF 1. you are licensed to practice there, if 2. you are interested in the law or the folks (maybe you went to school w/ a bunch of gals there), or if 3. you have an inquiry or offer that relates to only that State – so that you can post it there and not on the Original Group. HERE are the STATE GROUPS, to date:

Also, I swear the TX Group (which has a ton of members that are not even in the Original Group), at over 1,900 members is pacing to outgrow the Original Group within the next month – we’ll see! Way to go, Girls! Incidentally, it probably comes as no surprise that TX could use an additional admin. Interested? Please raise your hand – Kelly and I would love the help! It’s not hard work – but, you know, many hands…..
If you are interested in being an additional co-admin for an existing State Group – or for the creation of a new one – PM me, please!
Do you find this Group valuable? Do you see how it is valuable to others? Feel free to share the Group(s) with others! You can invite/add anyone you want. Only invite folks you know well-enough, though. I added the first 46 folks to make the Group in the first place – only to read 2,000+ members later that it was a FB Group “no no”!!! Thankfully, I knew all those gals well enough, they are all are still members, and no one has said that it upset them. But, anyway, be mindful of those issues…and don’t stress about it too much….as the Creator/Founder of all the Groups – I actually haven’t been sent even one complaint from someone about being added.
GIRL ATTORNEY – EVENTS: #GAgettogether I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – it takes a little something extra to be both interested and willing to take the initiative to set up a get together. You ladies are the best of the best!
THANK YOU TO OKC Hostess, Melissa French, for organizing a huge (nearly 40) Group of women to meet up this past Friday in OKC’s Bricktown area. SPECIAL THANKS to the Pink Parrot, too – opening early and treating everyone so well.
Also, THANK YOU to the many of you who continue to take the initiative either as mentor, mentee, referrer, referee (I honestly feel like I might be making up words here). Anyway, whenever you reach out to connect, you make us all stronger. [Insert your favorite inspiring story here, that makes the totally obvious point that we are stronger individuals when we have each others’ backs.]
Last, but not least, thank you for the great dialogue this week, Girls. So many great conversations on great topics – law, role as mom, role as responsible member of a broken world, role of our wardrobe, role we have keeping the men in our lives (personally and professionally) happy at all costs (I’M KIDDING!!!!). Also, so much humor. I love a Girl with a sense of humor.
Well, Girls – in short, the podcast and website ARE COMING – and, otherwise, that’s my overview of This Week in GA!
Goodnight, Girl Attorneys.
